Because if you step into Ultimate without Savage gears, you're literally gonna get ONE SHOT by the first mechanic. And that's not an exaggeration. Even in BiS gear, missing a single mit or missing even just food and you gonna still get high rolled to the floor. Going in there with a whole tier of gear missing ? Yeah, unless you want to just zoning into the area counted as "accessing" content, than power to you, but I think most people won't.

- There are gating that naturally make sense, and usually people just see it as a sequence. Finish the story of the previous expack before the current one. Clearing the previous floor of a raid before accessing the next one.

- There are gating that's a necessity for the medium, like weekly cap. No player like it, but it's there 'cause no MMO can hope to survive without it.

- And there are gating like the one you're requesting, gating only for the shake of gating and nothing else. Thanks but no thanks.




Hear that, the man who said not everything need to be catered to anyone, yet accusing people disagree as people selfish only care about themselves with a straight face.
Funny how its actually you being the strawman here. Keep making lame excuses for why they shouldnt continue doing unique things for the systems already built into this game. Keep discouraging the devs from trying to find different ways to do the content we already do just for the sake of wanting to make everyone happy, in a community space where people do their own thing. Oh how terrible it is for those whom dont care about FC stuff miss out on new activities you can do with an FC, how terrible it is for them to dedicate resources for updating pvp even though a lot of us tend to not care for it. How dare they branch out and make new forms of content. This is the same problem MMOs like WoW had with them introducing new gameplay systems but then soon abandon them and never update them.

I already said I dont much care for FCs but I know a ton of people whom put hours of work running their own little communities and I feel it would be cool if they ever create more things for that circle of space within FFXIV. But no just because YOU decide to not care for it, then it's not worth it. Yes I do know that they tried systems like this with Diadem and what not and it failed, but I would never want for them to just not try again and make something better.
